Su Kairong said goodbye happily and left, Qin Feng looked at his shaking shoulders, and felt that this guy must be so happy because he found Geng Jingming, this guy to be their household secretary, he can retire early so that he can go to Changlong to make a lot of money? If you want to be beautiful, you have to squeeze you for a few years. Geng is shrewd and open-source, and you have done a good job of throttling, the two match each other and complement each other.

"Le Gong, call the skillful hands in." Qin Feng retracted his gaze and thought for a while, what is the deflationary problem that Su Kairong said just now, it sounds like a big problem, the first assistant has gathered several departments to solve this problem, the war of the Ministry of Industry is only one of them, and the major project of the Ministry of Industry is also one of them, if you want to ask the Ministry of Industry, how the big project is planned.

After a while, he walked into Qin Feng's room with a large pile of materials in his hand. When Father-in-law Le went to invite him, he had already told him what His Majesty wanted to know.

"Your Majesty, the first assistant convened several ministries to discuss the solution to the problem of deflation, which is to print money desperately and use it desperately." Skillful eyebrows smiled and said: "But to use it vigorously, our Ministry of Industry has never been so generous?" As long as the plan is taken out and approved, the work can start immediately. Your Majesty, this is our plan for the last three months of this year and for the whole of next year. ”

Looking at a large number of reports and drawings, Qin Feng's face darkened, "What are you doing with these, you just need to give me a summary." "Is it hard to let yourself read a copy?

"Originally, I wanted His Majesty to have a more intuitive understanding!" Skillfully rolled everything up, and then piled it on the chair on the side: "Your Majesty, then let me introduce it to you." ”

"Come on, how many more people do I have to meet later?" Qin Feng Dao.

"Your Majesty, the biggest project next year is the construction of two railways, the planning of the Railway Department has been there for a long time, and they have already completed the inspection of the route, one is from Shayang County to Yuejing, and the other is from Fengxian County to Zhaoguan. Originally, because of the problem of funds, it was a choice of two, but now that there is too much money to be used, it is natural to start building together because of the need to use it vigorously. Skillful smiled from ear to ear, "And since we have money, it is not so easy for those big businessmen to buy shares, and the threshold has been greatly raised." This time, we want to take a stake. ”

Qin Feng nodded, the construction of the railway, for the Ming Dynasty, is a multi-pronged thing, where the railway goes, it will require a lot of labor, consume countless materials and materials, is a very important chess piece for pulling the domestic demand of the Ming Dynasty, from Shayang County to Yuejing City, will run through Taiping, Shayang, Zhengyang, Yuejing City, the economic lifeline of the Ming Empire, so that you can build an economic circle around this railway, the existence of the railway, will greatly reduce the cost of logistics, Increasing the flow of people in these developed areas and increasing the economic vitality of these areas, these places, which are now extremely developed compared with other counties, have also reached a bottleneck, and the construction of railways will enable them to break this bottleneck and reach a new level.

And the construction of Zhaoguan, can also drive the economic development of Yiyang, Wuling, Taoyuan, so that the three counties that are still very miserable are full of vitality, more importantly, the position above the military is also extremely important, with this railway, the Ming Dynasty can in a very short period of time, to Zhaoxian into a large number of troops. Once there is a war with the Qi State, then this railway will become a military artery of the Ming Dynasty, and the army and material resources will be continuously invested.

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Industry urgently hopes that Your Majesty will take the Xintong County of the Qin State as soon as possible." Skillfully said: "There is iron ore in Xintong, those guys in Qin, the technology is not up to par, and the technology of iron smelting and smelting is simply a pile of slag, but the iron ore reserves and quality there are not worse than Taiping iron ore." As long as we take over, it will make our Daming's steel production to a new level. ”

"Xintong has such a good iron mine?" Qin Feng was taken aback: "Then why was the Qin State so short of iron before?" I remember that the frontier troops in the Luoying Mountains fought against us one by one with broken copper and iron, and they were proud to have grabbed our weapons. ”

"Your Majesty, we also found out about this situation after the Eagle's Nest spies infiltrated the past, and then we sent people who specialize in iron ore exploration to follow the Eagle's Nest spies to investigate, Xintong's iron ore is actually controlled by several families, in order to dig for the highest profits, they actually united to control the mining of iron ore in order to increase the price of steel, plus their technology is too scum, and it is still in the stage of soil smelting, where can this output go? This is begging for food with a golden rice bowl. The construction of the two railways at the same time, it can be expected that the price of steel in Daming will rise rapidly, which will increase the cost of building the railway! ”

"Well, it's not a problem to fight Xintong first, in the plan of the Ministry of War, it was supposed to take Xintong first." Qin Feng nodded and said.

"That's great, I'll immediately contact the Taiping Iron Mine when I turn around, and dispatch a group of master craftsmen and technicians, as soon as they take Xintong, they will immediately set off to take over these mines, mine, build blast furnaces, smelt iron, and make steel." Skillful hands, eyes only glow green.

"Well, I know that. What else is there besides the railway? ”

"The second big project is the water conservancy construction of Qinzhou County, Danyang County, and Xingyang County that were occupied by us." Skillful way. "We are going to build a large water network across these states and counties in preparation for the next big development in these places. These places, except for Qingzhou, are all grain producing areas of the Qin State, but these places do not have a perfect water conservancy system at all, and they rely entirely on the sky for food, how can this be endured? Even if it is Qingzhou, the area surrounding the county seat for dozens of miles, it is also a good place to grow grain, and in other places, if you want to raise wasteland horses for our Great Qin, then leave him alone. ”

"Why don't you develop Wuling, Yiyang, and Taoyuan first? The three counties are my Ming Dynasty, and they don't have them yet, right? Qin Feng was a little dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, population, those three counties, how can there be excess population now? Danyang and Xingyang are completely different. Originally, it was the grain producing area of the Qin people, and the people's life was still good, densely populated, and there was enough population to support us to carry out such a big project. And the minister also thinks that we build water conservancy in these places, it is a good opportunity to brush up on goodwill, let's invest money, give them water conservancy, we don't levy their conscription, as long as they come to work, we also pay them, Your Majesty, I'm sure that as long as we complete these projects, our Ming Dynasty will also completely gain a foothold in these places, take root, and at that time, these people will remember who the emperor of Qin is? Only remember the wisdom and benevolence of our emperor of the Ming Dynasty. "Skillful hands gushing authentically." This is very helpful for us to quickly digest and occupy the territory. ”

"This is very good, you can have it." Qin Feng applauded: "Skillful, it's rare that you can think of this!" It's easy to occupy, it's hard to digest, it's not easy to make these Qin people completely loyal to my Daming, Lu Dayuan and his 10,000 subordinates at the beginning, but they stayed in Daming for two years before they returned to their hearts. If you can do that, then we can easily digest the occupied land. ”

"Your Majesty, this is also the Qin State is too poor, the people are too hard, we don't have to pay too much, we can get a fruitful return, although these projects have a large investment, but the merit is in the present generation, the benefits are in the future, once it is completed, it can continue to create wealth for my Ming Dynasty!" Skillful way. "However, these are only the plans now, and the preliminary preparations have not yet begun, and after some time, the government hall will get the complete report out, and once Your Majesty approves it, it can enter the implementation stage."

"The Qin State turned out to be a big country with a lot of people, and if we take him early, we can make more effective use of these manpower." Qin Feng said: "Now the population of our Ming Dynasty is still too small. There are many places where there is no way to develop it. ”

"Yes, yes!" Qiaoshou deeply agreed: "The decree issued by His Majesty to encourage childbirth before will really see the effect, at least ten years later." Or the conquest comes quickly, and the defeat of the Qin State can at least alleviate the shortage of manpower in front of us. As soon as these major projects are started, manpower will become the biggest problem that shackles the progress of the project. ”

"By the way, one more thing, is the mass manufacturing of cement now in sight?" Qin Feng asked: "Many places on the front line have used cement to build defense lines, and the response is very good, and now the reports below asking for cement are about to flood the kittens." This thing can not only be used to quickly build a defensive line, but also can be used to build roads, which is really very practical for the army that is currently fighting, the road system of the Qin State is too poor, once there is heavy rain, it will be muddy and difficult to walk. ”

"Your Majesty, now the last difficulty is how to grind it into powder, this is the last difficulty, the masters of the Ministry of Industry are developing hydraulic equipment, but in a short period of time, it may not be effective, and in Taiping County, limestone, marl these mineral deposits are not much, the Ministry of Industry has sent a lot of people across the country to look for large mining areas, once found, it is possible to produce cement in large quantities, at present, they can only save a little use, use it on the key points, build roads, it will be temporarily exempted." The skillful hands are a little embarrassed.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! Nothing can be done overnight, Qin Feng sighed, that's the only way.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing, our Ministry of Industry is ready to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites to open our own technical school. Now there are too few technical talents, and relying on the form of masters and apprentices alone cannot meet our needs. When the time comes, Old Man Xiao will teach his apprentices to read and write, and we will teach students to learn technology. ”

"You can do it yourself. Anyway, don't you have a lot of money in the Ministry of Industry now? Doesn't it always need additional money from the Ministry of Households, right? ”

"No, no, now we have money, and we have money." Skillful hands are triumphant. 10
